About this book
AI tools can help you organize a VA claim. They can also invent a regulation, a form number, or a court case that does not exist, and state it with total confidence. This guide shows where AI legitimately helps, where it will damage your claim, and how to use it without putting errors into your own file. You will follow Owen, an Army combat medic who starts out using AI with no guardrails and nearly files an AI-written nexus letter, and see how he learns to use it the right way.
